WORKSAFE Victoria says it will be closing its OHS Consultant Directory on 12 April 2010.
The Professional OHS Advice section of the WorkSafe Victoria website will provide links to the Safety Institute of Australia (SIA), and the Australian Institute of Occupational Hygienists (AIOH).
According to WorkSafe Victoria, the SIA and AIOH have satisfied its criteria to recommend accredited and certified OHS consultants. It will work with other professional bodies to enable them to provide this service.
WorkSafe Victoria says most if not all OHS professional bodies maintain their own online databases of OHS professionals. Certified members of such organisations should check their details are correct in the directory.
OHS professionals who are not currently affiliated with relevant organisations should consider joining one.
